    Exactly that's how it was and it worked. Two of the best fighters ever clashed to produce a classic. Two titans and one of them had to give. Legends

    If he fought with that type of aggression against Leonard
    and Duran, their wouldn't be any controversy.

    He had a bare knuckle fight with Teddy Atlas in 1983.

    Eubank himself and Johnny Bos. Atlas won, but Eubank was 16 and hadn’t learned how to punch properly yet. Bos said Teddy bit his ear out of frustration at not being able to floor him. When they grappled, young Eubank was too strong for him.

    Very thought out response, great call, also takes me back to the week the fight occurred, run down to my local sweetshop to get my copy of the Ring, and who should be on the front cover ( in colour ) Olivares throwing a left hook downstairs, and the caption read " Olivares Numero Uno " seems like only yesterday, what did Oscar Wilde say " youth is wasted on the young " stay safe guys.
